Decentralised orientation of the child and youth emergency service
New buildings on Chopinstrasse and Reichenhainer Strasse put into operation
The City of Chemnitz's emergency child and youth services were decentralised.
To this end, two new facilities were built at Chopinstraße 2 and Reichenhainer Straße 85, each with ten places for the age group from 7 to under 18 years (8 regular places, 2 emergency places).
For children aged 0 to 6 years, the toddler shelter has been available since 1 June 2019 with six places under the auspices of Kinder-, Jugend- und Familienhilfe e. V. at Parkstraße 26.
